It sounds small.
Almost childish.
But it’s advice for moments when thinking stops helping.
When the path isn’t clear.
When confidence hasn’t shown up yet.
When stopping feels logical — but costly.
Progress rarely announces itself.
Most of the time it looks like repetition.
Like showing up again without new information.
Motion creates feedback.
Feedback creates clarity.
Waiting to feel ready is how momentum dies.
Movement, even imperfect movement, keeps you in the water.
You don’t need the whole ocean figured out.
You need the next stroke.
Just keep swimming.
Who this is for?
Anyone paused between effort and doubt.
One action:
Take the next small step today without trying to solve the whole thing first.
